Well, this was something special. Horror used as a metaphor for trauma, grief, and great loss.

Sublime.

Keep writing. It’s sound advice. Remember that I was querying for almost 3 years with no dice. In that time, I wrote 4 novels and sought new representation with 3. The agency rejected the first one, so I sent another MS right away and got signed.

It’s good to have material. So keep writing! 📚💙

Just to make people aware that there has been a slight delay on the option to purchase the paperback edition of False Prophet. This is being addressed by the publisher, but in the meantime it is still available on Kindle Unlimited and eBook.

Thank you for your patience!

My contributor copy for THIS WAY LIES MADNESS arrived. I could cry! It's beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much to @leemurraywriter.bsky.social and @davebjeffery.bsky.social. "Bangs" is perhaps the most personal short story I've ever written. Honored to have it featured in this anthology.
